I've been making tuna salad with plain yogurt instead of mayo (I use tuna in the packet with water). Then I put that on top of baby spinach and romaine tossed with a little olive oil, lemon juice, salt & pepper, craisins and chopped walnuts. It is soo delicious, filling, and healthy!0

I call this one my "Famous Salad":
-equal parts spring mix and romaine, shredded into nice good size chunks
-A handful of rinsed garbanzo beans
-shoestring beets, or sliced beets (must be the marinated kind though, not raw)
-slices or crumbles of hard-boiled egg
-feta/goat cheese crumbles
-maybe one other add-in that I might have in my fridge, mushrooms, tomatoes or something like that)
very light salad dressing of my choice, right now I'm into light goddess.
I could eat this all day (and I sometimes do!)0 -
This salad rocks because it's really different and tasty:

I love salads but my are very plain and boring unfortunately but very very good.
Grilled chicken (I add lemon, yum)
Organic Baby Spinach
A little cheese
Sometimes I add carrots, but not really
Top it with yummy croutons
Plain but very good!0 -
Spring mix
chick peas
black olives
feta cheese
Very simple, very healthy, and very yummy. You really don't even need dressing, because of the crumbled feta.0 -

I love Beefalo (Grass Fed Bison) as it is low in calories and fat. I use the ground beefalo mixed with taco seasoning usually. And add lettuce, banana peppers, fat free cheese and a low cal, low fat, low sugar dressing. I cooked a roast in a crock pot on Saturday and didn't eat it all. It shredded up nicely so I've been using that on my salad. YUM.
I purchased a sauce at a craft show (you know handing out samples with pretzels) and fell in love with it. It's called Original Spunky Sauce. No nutritional info on it, but I love it. Thank God our local Country Peddlers Market carries it. I use it every day for the dressing on my salad. I calculated what I thought was in it and use that for logging. It's got some zing and it makes the salad oh so great!0 -
Adding fresh herbs as additional greens adds good flavor...like cilantro to Thai or Mexican salads, oregano to Greek salads, basil to Italian salads, etc. Sometimes I add cilantro to tacos instead of lettuce....
I also have main dishes over greens instead of a grain...a little wacky, but you don't need dressing on spaghetti sauce over greens!0 -
